Course Description		This undergraduate course provides an in-depth introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its applications in the field of planning. Students will explore the fundamental concepts, components, and tasks involved in GIS, gaining a solid understanding of its role as a powerful tool for spatial analysis and decision-making. Emphasis will be placed on the use of maps as a language for spatial thinking and the utilization of GIS data structures, systems, and related technologies. Through hands-on exercises and projects, students will develop practical skills in data input, storage, editing, query, analysis, and presentation within GIS frameworks.
Course Outcomes		• Understand the fundamental concepts and definitions of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and its relevance in the field of planning. • Explore the components and tasks involved in GIS, including data acquisition, storage, editing, querying, analysis, and presentation. • Develop proficiency in using maps as a language for spatial thinking and effective communication within GIS frameworks. • Gain hands-on experience in data input techniques, including digitization, remote sensing, and GPS. • Examine GIS data structures and systems, including raster and vector models, database management, and spatial data infrastructure. • Acquire skills in data editing and query operations, enabling students to manipulate and extract relevant information from GIS databases. • Learn techniques for visually presenting GIS data through maps, charts, and graphs.
